At Options Home Care, we’re proud to serve those who served us—providing compassionate, personalized senior care services for veterans across multiple states.
Our experienced team, including a dedicated VA support unit, helps veterans and their families understand their benefits and navigate the application process with ease—ensuring timely access to the in-home care they deserve.
Temporary in-home support for eligible Veterans so family caregivers can rest, attend appointments, run errands, or simply take time for themselves while knowing their loved one is receiving compassionate care at home.
In-home support for eligible Veterans who need help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, mobility, meal preparation, and other day-to-day tasks so they can continue living safely and comfortably at home.
Many of our veteran clients receive care through the VA’s Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care program. This program is part of VA health benefits and provides non-medical assistance in the home to help Veterans remain safe and independent. Services typically include help with bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and other daily activities.
As an accredited VA community care provider, Options Home Care can be paid directly by the VA to provide approved home care services.
To qualify for in-home VA health care benefits, Veterans must:
Once approved, we work closely with the VA and the assigned social worker to deliver consistent, personalized care at home. We can also help you through the application process.
We carefully screen every caregiver before they join our team. Families across Southern Maryland choose Options Home Care because they want dependable and compassionate care from professionals who understand the daily needs involved with homemaker and home health support.
Yes. We believe families should feel comfortable with the person providing care, so we give you the opportunity to meet and speak with the caregiver before services begin.
Every situation is different, but many Southern Maryland families are able to begin care within a matter of days. Once we learn more about your loved one’s routine, health concerns, and preferred schedule, we work on finding the right caregiver match as quickly as possible.
No. Many Veterans qualify because they need assistance with daily routines, mobility, recovery after surgery, or ongoing health conditions. Qualification depends on several factors, and our team can help explain available VA benefits and what programs might fit your situation.
Absolutely. We often coordinate care with VA providers, physicians, and other healthcare professionals throughout Southern Maryland to help families create a smoother experience for their loved one.
Yes. Many families contact us after a loved one returns home from a hospital stay, rehabilitation center, or surgery. We can assist with daily routines, mobility, and skilled home care while helping coordinate with providers, including your local VA medical center, during recovery at home.
That is very common. Our team takes time to understand your loved one’s daily challenges, health concerns, and goals before recommending care options. For families in Southern Maryland, this might include in-home care, respite care, or home health aide services based on the level of support needed.
Yes. As care needs change, schedules and services can change, too. We can easily expand hours, adjust care routines, and provide additional support for skilled home health care services when more help becomes necessary.
Yes. Care schedules can include weekends and holidays, depending on your family’s needs. We work with families throughout Southern Maryland to build schedules that fit comfortably into their routines.

At Options Home Care, we accept private pay, long-term care insurance, and Medicare Part C Advantage Plans for at-home care.
Long-term care insurance is a private policy purchased years before care is needed, often in your 40s or 50s. It helps cover extended support with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and mobility due to aging, illness, or disability. Unlike health insurance, it is designed specifically to pay for ongoing custodial care at home, in assisted living, or in a skilled nursing setting.
If you have long-term care insurance, benefits begin once you meet eligibility requirements, which typically include needing help with two or more activities of daily living or having a cognitive impairment. Our team works directly with all long-term care insurance companies to verify your coverage, initiate your claim, document services, and guide you through the reimbursement process so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.
Activities of Daily Living, which are often called ADLs, are basic self-care tasks that a person must be able to perform to live independently. These typically include:
ADLs matter because many benefits programs use them to determine eligibility. Most long-term care insurance policies require that a person need assistance with at least two ADLs before benefits begin. Certain Veterans’ programs require assistance with three ADLs to qualify for home care services.
If your loved one is struggling with these daily tasks, we can help assess their needs and guide you through the next steps for coverage and care planning.
In some situations, yes. Certain surviving spouses of Veterans in Southern Maryland might qualify for assistance through VA home care programs and community-based services, depending on eligibility requirements, care needs, and the Veteran’s service-connected disability status. These services can make it easier to remain safely at home while receiving extra day-to-day help.
